The reports include daily and total order accumulation numbers for iBooks preorders.

The reports provide authors and publishers unprecedented insight into recent sales performance across the largest Smashwords retailers. Authors can use the reports to gain rapid feedback on the effectiveness of marketing and promotion campaigns.

You can view your aggregated performance over the
prior seven day or 30 day period, with drill-down views by retailer, title or
series. There are also one-click filters to view priced
books, free books, all books and accumulated preorders (iBooks only). Publishers and literary agents who manage multiple authors can drill down and view author-specific
performance.

If you want to compare the performance of two or three series across different retailers, you can do it. If you want to measure the impact of a blog tour, an advertisement, a price change, a new cover image, a new release in a series or a new free series starter or anything else, the results are now at your fingertips.

Each chart is also accompanied by a table that shows how the recent 7- or 30-day period compares to the prior 7- or 30-day period.

Reports are updated same-day daily every three hours for Barnes & Noble; next-day daily for iBooks and Kobo; and same-day daily every 30 minutes for the Smashwords store.

Sales data can be downloaded as a spreadsheet.

Find the new charts in your Dashboard via the Daily Sales link. Learn more about daily charting in our Daily Reporting FAQ.

What's coming next with Daily Sales: We'll continue to add more retailers to the daily charts as retailers make their data available to us. Also, in the months ahead as we begin archiving more daily trending data, and we'll
add options for longer analysis periods such as 60 days, 90 days and longer.

Consolidate Your Distribution with Smashwords

Kudos to Case Talbot on the Smashwords engineering team for leading this exciting project. She's also the engineer behind Smashwords Interviews, Dropbox integration and the responsive website redesign. Thanks also to the rest of the Smashwords engineering team who assisted her, and thanks to our beta testers who provided us wonderful feedback on this feature.

A great addition to our tools, thanks for the hard work of your entire team.Could your engineers possibly add International Mystery and Crime to your categories?Best wishes,Liz,EditorialEyes and Ears Editions

Thank you! You just got better than Amazon's new reporting chart by letting us see all the channels at once while Amazon can show every channel or each channel one at a time.

One question though: I see there's a button to remove a book from the comparison. Is that for that session or is it a persistent setting?

I have to say you guys have me really hating that my laptop died last year. Now I want to get the rewrite of my short story finished that much more, and I want to get to work on a new book I have an idea for. I love how you guys keep me busy. 8-D

OMG "Smashwords gets more and more awesome!" Thanks for the new feature...daily sales help out so much.Can we also suggest some additional subcategories to the Fiction section? My future works fit into places that don't fit into any of the current ones. :(

The page doesn't seem to work in any Webkit-based browser I tried (Chromium and a couple of more obscure browsers) at least on Linux. It just displayed a small black box where graph should have been.

Google Chrome and Safari (~50% of web users between them) are both Webkit-based, so you might want to have a look into this.

I had a look at it in Firefox and it looks pretty cool, though the results did lead me to have a couple of questions about how the different vendors record "Free" books:

There's no "Free" sales listed on the daily list from any vendor other than Barnes and Nobles for me, so I was curious as to whether that's an accurate reflection, or are they just not reporting it from other vendors?

Also there was no Free sales from Smashwords even, and the dashboard lists something like 15-25 downloads in the last 30 days. What's the difference between the reporting of the two?

Chrome Stable on linux is our primarily development platform. We then test and support the following:IE9+ on Windows, Chrome and Firefox on Windows, OSX, and Linux, Safari on OSX and iOS, as well as Chrome on iOS and Android. We aim for a responsive UI on mobile platforms when possible.

I also just checked in Chromium and Epiphany on Linux and both work as expected. I tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

This project does use d3 with svg support as our primary graphing mechanism. Perhaps your distribution (or some other installed package) broke support for SVG for you?

With regards to free sales, check the /reporting/info page for details. Also, reporting on free downloads at Smashwords is new as of last weekend, due to some extra triaging we wanted to do to exclude "sales" that were really downloads from users who had purchased your book already. This made our "free downloads" used in this reporting tool more equatable with the free downloads reported by our retail partners.

More of this. This is fantastic. I love how Smashwords is leading the way in giving authors tools to make more sales, whether its the pre-orders, partnering innovatively with new partners and channels for wider distribution of books....

That's bullshit about being writer friendly smashwords -- tell the truth how you silenced a Conservative and someone who is disabled. You are not telling the truth about who had me shut down and I am petition to have me reinstated on there because you stifle those who are disabled. I am going to do something that's really going to piss you off -- get authors back in print and reviving the print medium as I now work with your parent operator too where I can do a book that tells the truth about smashwords.com. Do you want that dirty secret out there how you closed down someone who is disabled because it was just one e-book that did an address and the other was work of fiction. Tell the truth motherfucker -- who reported me? I should bill you because you have an author who stole my identity.

This is great! Though as someone already mentioned about free book reporting... Kobo has not registered as my having given away a free story/book in YEARS. (yes, I recently went through and redid my spreadsheets and noticed this. I have free book data through August 2011 (where it was an average of 60 or so a month) and then it dropped to zero and has stayed that way since. I'm not hugely concerned or I'd have filed a ticket, but it is something you might want to look into since you're obviously tweaking data coming from distributors because I may not be the only one. Of course there is a chance that I am giving absolutely nothing away there, but it seems odd that it dropped off to 0 like that across all the titles and stayed that way ever since. Even places I have bad sales at have one now and then.

Thank you Smashwords for the new Daily Sales report. We love it. Now we have a better idea of how our books are selling in real time. It cheers us up and makes us motivated to keep on writing books together. Thank you from the husband and wife writing team of Louise Hathaway.
